Shredded Napa Cabbage and Radish Salad

This recipe made perfect use of the beautiful head of Napa cabbage and locally grown radishes in my CSA box this week. When a recipe calls for raisins, I almost always substitute currants. The are tiny little balls of sweetness that give just the right amount of flavor, plus they don't get smushy--but that's just me. :) If you prefer raisins, go for it. I made this salad first, then made the rest of our meal. That was just enough time for it to marinade. The leftovers got a little soggy the next day so enjoy it right away if you can.
